(UPDATE: 1:40 p.m.) - There's now three gas stations with prices under $1 per litre in Penticton and it looks like the Okanagan could have a gas war on its hands.
Joining the Petro-Canada on Westminster Avenue at 99.9 cents per litre is the Canco station on Government Street, while the Super Save on Green Mountain Road is down to 98.9 cents per litre.

With a difference of 20 cents per litre, a nice road trip down Hwy 97 to Penticton could be in the cards for many Central Okanagan residents.
